It wouldn't need to cover *all* cover cases to be useful; even if it
only worked for 'git send-email' series, it'd still be useful.

I didn't think about this case, but if it's common, we could have our
own default pre-commit hook include an escape hatch (e.g., run all
scripts under ~/.config/git/hooks/pre-commit.d) and document that, so
that users could still plug their very own pre-commit hooks.
